Having seen examples of his work I would have to bet he built it.

Nice work Jason, I really like the way you did the columns in the corners. The canopy looks good as well, like the flip up design with doors.

Very nice, great craftmanship. I'm going to build a hood like that for my new tank, it will probably not turn out as nice though.
